The Fiat 500C is a desirable car that many will enjoy. However, it is difficult to get comfortable in and generally outclassed by the more grown-up Mini.

Trim:

Engine:

This two-cylinder engine is fun to rev hard, but it’s also noisy and sends a lot of vibration through the steering wheel and pedals. On top of that, it’s nowhere near as economical as its optimistic claimed government figure, and it commands a fair premium over the 1.2, so it’s best avoided.
